Pros

Looks very good on a resume. Many resources available to assist with job performance.

Cons

There is a lot of blatant nepotism when it comes to advancement. Often times who you know counts for more than what you know and what you do. A lot of good talent is overlooked. A significant portion of the posted jobs are already filled prior to the commencement of the interview process. Very disheartening.
